“SOMETHING is rotten in the state of Denmark,” is a famous line from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The same sentence perfectly fits West Bengal today under the rule of chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s All India Trinamool Congress (TMC).
The horrific incident of gang-rape and murder of a young female doctor, Abhaya, as named by her colleagues, within the premises of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital (MCH) in Kolkata has stunned the sensibilities of all citizens of the country. The crude attempts by the state government led by Banerjee to hush up this gruesome crime are highly condemnable.
The incident took place in the early hours of August 9 2024 while the young doctor was on duty. The parents of the victim were misled that their daughter had committed suicide. They were made to wait for more than three hours before they could see the dead body of their daughter, their only child. The parents lodged a complaint and filed a first information report (FIR).
